PLAYING HURT & A BLUE SO DARK - NEW VIDS

I'm gearing up to add a bunch of new videos to both my main author site and my site for young readers for THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY...what better way to warm up to the process than with some new video content for my previously-released work?

PLAYING HURT - BEING A PLOTTER AND LISTENING TO MY CHARACTERS:

A BLUE SO DARK - THE CREATIVE PROCESS

SMACK DAB UPDATES - A NEW SERIES + PROMPTS!

My MG group author blog, Smack Dab in the Middle, will be featuring creative posts throughout the month of October.  Instead of our usual nonfiction on the business of writing, we'll be posting flash fiction, poetry, photography, short vids, etc.!  But in order to do that, we need a prompt from you!

Fill out the form below; if your prompt is chosen, we'll link to your blog from the sidebar throughout the entirety of October.  (A blog is not a requirement, though.)



Also, Sheila O'Connor is starting a new regular interview series at Smack Dab called Between Writers; the series will begin on the 21st of August.  Be sure to check in on the blog on Wednesday to catch the first installment!

THE JUNCTION IN PENGUIN'S '14 CATALOG

To add to the building excitement around the forthcoming release of THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY, I got a copy of the Winter '14 Penguin catalog...

It's thrilling to see THE JUNCTION featured on a couple of different pages throughout...

...And an honor to see my book listed in a catalog beside so many authors whose work I've long admired...

JUNCTION ARC!

Look what came in the mail last week:

JUNCTION ARCs are out in the world...Feels good...
